Help you can count on

I am so thankful to James for everything he did to help me not only get my case completely dismissed, but for always being willing to listen and offer comforting and confident words of encouragement during a time that was very unsettling. If it had not been for Mr.Silverstein the outcome of this situ...ation would have been far more costly, timely, and potentially detrimental to my future.

Red Light Camera Ticket

My friend borrowed my car and got a stupid red light camera ticket by making a right-turn-on-red near the Metro Orange Line. The ticket came in my name for $500. I read that supposedly you can ignore these but after months of ignoring it and several notices from the court, a letter came from the DMV ...stating that my license was going to be suspended for failure to appear. Now there's two charges against me - the failure to appear and the actual citation. James met me at the court on two occasions. On the first occasion he got the FTA thrown out. On the second occasion he saw the judge while I waited outside the courtroom. 45 minutes later he emerged from the court and said "dismissed." Fantastic! James was honest, professional, friendly and knew what he was doing. Couldn't ask for more.

Auto vandalism/ hit n run

Auto vandalism- Mr. Silverstein navigated me through what I needed to do to get restitution for my vehicle that was damaged and had get the receipts from my mechanic and present them to the court for restitution which I had no clue how to do and was most helpful . Hit n run- I was accused of hitt...ing and running from an accident. Per Mr Silverstein, I took a picture of the front of my car and no parts were taken or damaged and nothing was changed. In the picture, you can still see the sun fade on the top of the bumper from age fade from the sun, the airbag did not deploy and it was Mr. Silverstein's deduction that someone hit the person 2 cards in front of me and then immediately moved into the next lane before the injured party could react and I just happen to be the first car that they saw.

One of the best Criminal Defense Lawyer in LA

I can't say enough great things about James Silverstein. He is both experienced and an expert in Criminal Law, and he came highly recommended by an attorney friend of mine. I retained him on a traffic case, and he made himself available before our 1st meeting to answer all of my questions over the ...phone (on a weekend). Then at our meeting, he listened carefully to everything I had to say about the case (I was pretty emotional), then he explained thoroughly about his experience with similar cases in the past, and was very honest about the possibilities of what COULD happen in situations like these. At the same time, he reassured me that he will do whatever it takes to fight the case. And HE DID! He got me out of a case, and I owe him my life! James is very good about following up on new developments, and giving the best advice on how to win a case. His assistants always made sure to return my calls if I had any questions/concerns, and I was continually impressed with the level of professionalism and service they provided. If you are looking for an attorney who can help, I highly recommend James Silverstein. He will and can help!
